I discovered yoga in 2003 and fell in love with it! Since then I have practiced a number of styles including hatha, ashtanga, yin, flow/vinyasa, SUP, partner, gentle and hot yoga.  I love the variety of lineages and their history. 

I needed yoga in my life. It helped me to find balance in my hectic and at times stressful, crazy shift working career as a 911 operator/police dispatcher and mother of two.  Yoga centres me, keeps me focused, healthy, active and happy. 

Initially when I began to practice it was very much the physical aspect I enjoyed and the amazing noticeable results.  However, I have since discovered there is so much more to yoga than asana. I enjoy and am exploring the intriguing yogic philosophies, & pranayama, spiritual & meditative benefits from yoga as a whole. 

I wanted to take my yoga teacher training for a number of years but until recently life had gotten in the way. I am ecstatic that I have now completed my 200 hour RYT with the highest of standards through SOYA (South Okanagan Yoga Academy) RYS in hatha yoga. 

My certification included:

• Yoga Philosophy Studies in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali & the Bhagavad Gita
• Hatha Yoga Practices, Techniques & Teaching Skills
• Basic Anatomy & Physiology 
• Pranayama 
• Mantra & Chanting 
• Beginner Lesson Plans & Apprenticeship Teaching
• Benefits & Modifications for Asanas 
• Kriyas 
• Chakras
• Meditation & Relaxation
• Sanskrit Terms & Pronunciation

I truly believe there is a style of yoga for everyone! I am so excited to start teaching! I hope to see you on the mat!

Sending Om 💚 

Namaste 🙏🏻 Natalie 🧘‍♀️
